Evaldas Gulbinas is rapidly breaking down the wall separating art from capitalism in the current artistic ventures undertaken by him. Hailing from Vilnius, Lithuania, and with creative experience in European cities, Evaldas developed his style, which combines the accuracy of tattooing with artistic freedom. It is an acculturation of his evolution journey which has set him on a path to inspire others who in turn, explore the unending horizons of creative exploration.
A Journey Through Art and Ink
The artistic journey of Evaldas Gulbinas started in London, among an array of contemporary art and the formal introduction to a visual arts education. Evaldas studied Foundation in Art and Design at West Thames College, inspiring his interest to experiment with multiple mediums, as well as diverse techniques. This was then followed by a Bachelor's in Fine Art, Mixed Media at the University of Westminster and a Master’s Degree in Fine Art from one of the most prestigious Universities for arts education accrue to Chelsea college of Arts (University of the Arts London)
Evaldas did not limit himself to the classroom during his studies. He was already a professional tattoo artist in London, where he learned in great detail the complex skills of this ancient art. The experience drawn from tattooing, an art that requires precision and patience with understanding the human canvas, was very much transposed into the way he dealt with fine arts. He began to regard tattoos and paintings as complementary forms of self-expression, rather than disparate disciplines.
The work of Evaldas is a harmonious union of tattoo and fine art, where one begets the other. Bold lines and graphic qualities found in tattoos often manifest in his paintings, while the tattoos take on a depth, complexity, and emotional resonance almost always associated with fine art. This cross-pollination of styles has certainly led to the making of pieces full of meaning and equally beautiful.
Evaldas is currently involved in his practice in Vilnius, expanding the very definition of what art is. He gets inspired by his environment, the people surrounding him, and the cultural setting in Lithuania. Thoughts that bubble inside his head make their way into a painting and tattoo, giving a body of work that is diverse yet cohesive at the same time. This gives him space to try out different themes and ideas, relating from the personal to the philosophical, using whatever media would suit the message he wants to convey.
Encouraging Creative Freedom
One of the greatest contributions of the works of Evaldas Gulbinas is its ability to encourage others to seize creative freedom. In a world where, at times, the art industry can feel rigid, stiff, and very commercial, about creativity, Evaldas is among the most individualistic artists. He is asserting independence for established and aspiring artists, beckoning them to step out of traditional constraints to embark on new directions with their work.
The Future of Art and Tattoos
Evaldas is not content with just his current achievements; rather, he looks forward in time, investigating how the art and tattoos will be developed. He's particularly interested in the interplay of technology and art—how the newest digital tools can be fitted into old practices. It is this forward-looking idea that allows his work to always be fresh and relevant, keeping him at the forefront of the art industry.
Besides, Evaldas is in love with understanding psychology in art: how it affects people's minds and how they react to it. Such a curiosity steers him on to continuously experiment with different styles and techniques, never falling into his comfort zone, pushing beyond the norm. His work is proof of the fact that art communicates, reflects, and comments.
Evaldas Gulbinas is not only an artist but also a visionary who changes the dynamics of the art industry. Evaldas's standing among contemporary artists is unique only because the culmination of the worlds of tattooing and fine art into one working form arises from his pursuit of creative freedom.
